Rubble and Ruin monograph questions.

[rleduc]

Hi,

I am about to start page layout on my monograph and I had a few questions I was hoping someone here might be able to answer:

1) All artwork most be black and white according to Dustin, does anyone know an easy way to convert PNG files to grey scale?

2) I have included references to the core rules wherever possible. Any suggestions on a shorthand for these, currently I am using something like “BRP core rules page XYZ” – but there is probably a better way. Any ideas?

3) I need to make a nice character sheet to be included in the monograph, and I know there was a long thread on that recently, does anyone remember what the punch line was for best tool to do this?

4) Is it my imagination, or did I read somewhere in the core rules, a penalty for characters not getting enough sleep. I would have sworn I saw something about that, but when I went to find it – nothing. Does anyone know of one?

Thanks,

Because I am boneheaded and forgot the last question...

1) IrfanView seems up to it.

2) "BRP p.XYZ" would do, wouldn't it?

3) Dunno - soz!

4) Or was it something someone else said around here recently?

Thanks for #1,

#2 was what I had in the back of my mind, but wasn't sure if it would work for the general reader...

What platform are you on, and what is the format that this is going to be submitted in?

I haven't tried it in some time, but GIMP might fit the bill.

3) I need to make a nice character sheet to be included in the monograph, and I know there was a long thread on that recently, does anyone remember what the punch line was for best tool to do this?

Best tool? InDesign. But if you don't have it, give Scribus a try. In fact, you could use it for the whole layout if it will save to the submission format. Also, I remember a dedicated character sheet tool mentioned... NBOS Character Sheet Designer. This is Windows only though.

Thanks.

I am working in Scribus on the advice I read earlier from this forum (so I’ve got that going for me). And for anyone else who might care, I used IrfanView last night to convert the images to black and white and it work, so I wont get a chance to try GIMP.
